GENERAL APPEARANCE:  The __________ Specialty is a well-established 
German Shepherd Dog specialty show, well-filled with exhibitors both 
round and oval in shape.  An occasional square is acceptable, though not 
desirable.

WEATHER - Sunny and mild.  MAJOR FAULTS: Rain, strong winds.  
Temperatures below 60 degrees or above 75 degrees must be penalized 
according to the degree with which they interfere with the purpose for 
which this show is held.  SKY:  Any color save blue is unacceptable.

TEMPERAMENT - Exhibitors should be friendly and confident with no 
suggestion of coarseness.  Both dogs and handlers are alert and exhibit 
interest in their surroundings.  MAJOR FAULTS:  Timid or aggressive dogs 
and/or handlers.

MOVEMENT:  The ___________Specialty moves briskly when viewed from any 
angle.  Judges should be well laid back yet move thoroughly through 
their paces.  MAJOR FAULTS:  Underfast or overfast.

ATTENDANCE:  A distinguishing characteristic which sets this show apart 
from all others.  An abundant crowd, covering the entire show grounds, 
flowing in from all across the nation.


       I wrote this back in 1984 for the 4th Independent Specialty in 
another breed.....but please feel free to use it for your own specialty 
shows...........just fill in the blanks with the name of your club!
